As a Navy spouse who’s photographed countless military events, I know the flow of these ceremonies so well I sometimes joke I could administer the oath of office myself. 😉
In reality, it means I know where to stand, when the key moments happen, and how to document them without being intrusive — so you can stay present and focus on what matters.

"I reached out to Marisa with only a few day's notice to help me photograph my husband's deployment homecoming. She was such a sweet addition to our event - very interactive and fun with my girls and enjoyable to talk to and be around. In all honesty, Marisa captured EVERY moment I would have wanted from our reunion. There is nothing that could have made our experience or final product better - Marisa is a talented event photographer with a sweet personality and we highly recommend her!"

At the last minute we had to have our dogs with us and she was totally down to add them in some photos for us! She really made the entire process fun! I’m still in shock with how beautiful the photos turned out! Can’t wait to hang them on the wall! 10/10 would book again and refer to anyone!"

"Marisa was referred to me by a friend. Finding a photographer was a very last minute thing I decided to do for our event and Marisa put my mind to ease. She was communicative and quick to respond both during the booking process and the day of the event. The day of the event, I trusted Marisa to scout a good spot on the flight deck. She found the perfect location and started working away seamlessly. I’m so glad we found Marisa, she came through for us last minute and in a big way!"
